These field notes were included in letters from Joel M. Halpern to Carl and Nettie Halpern during the time spent in Laos with the United States Operations Mission. These are notes from Halpern's translator, Aram Udol, having interviewed a former court musician, who was a member of the royal family. The musician speaks of his love of traditional music, how he was trained, and his attitudes about modern music.
